Had a Ike Nightmare on Friday Night

The fear started to begin in us from last week regarding Ike Hurricane. First, we planned to evacuate Houston and want to go Ruston where I studied my Master's in Biomedical Engineering. We were following weather channel which was frightening us more and more and told us that Hurricane Ike may turn into Category 3. On Friday morning we were planning to evacuate Houston in the noon after our lunch. But after lunch we decided to stop because things were changed in the sky and winds were started. Finally, we stopped. The day before we shopped necessities like candles, match boxes and Groceries.

That evening was awesome. Nice wind was blowing. We played cricket for an hour and then had Dinner. Out side wind was getting more strength as time passes. The landfall of Ike was at 2pm at Galveston its sea-shore town. I was chatting with one my friends that night on Gmail, suddenly I was blind. The power was taken out and our struggle was started. Wind was blowing in a ferocious way.

We haven't slept until 4 am in the morning. The next 24 hours we were out of power. We got power in the evening because our apartments are on the hospital line. Whenever there is natural disaster first power will be given to Hospitals, Govt Offices then to the Apartments.
There were no traffic lights nearly for 2 weeks. Eventually things are getting correct.

The tragic day has come : Sept 11

On sept 11, 2001 there was an attack on world's biggest
and tallest buildings, which served as eccentric for
world's business. Nearly 3000 innocent people died
in that tragedy. It was one of the saddest day of
21st century. Many parents lost their kids, many
kids lost their parents on that day. I pay homage
to all who lost lives in that holocaust.

After 6 years, same day made me panic in my life.
From that day, the pain and tension are chasing
me like a hungry anaconda. Day by day I am
getting hopeless and weaker.
My surroundings are changing color like a Chameleon.
I don't know what's going to happen further.
May be my destiny is different from what
I am planning to do in coming days.
I read the book "The Alchemist" in which author said
every person has a destiny, which he fulfill at end of the day.
I may find some way in near future.....
